What is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control, which leads to accidental leakage of urine. It can happen occasionally while coughing or sneezing, or it may be more frequent and difficult to control. Though it is common, especially among women and elderly people, it is not a normal part of aging and can be effectively treated.

At Ratna Memorial Hospital, we provide advanced and personalized urinary incontinence treatment in Pune to help patients regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

Types of Urinary Incontinence

Understanding the type of incontinence helps in choosing the right treatment:

1. Stress Incontinence
   Leakage occurs during physical activities such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or lifting heavy objects.
2. Urge Incontinence (Overactive Bladder)
   A sudden, strong urge to urinate followed by leakage.
3. Mixed Incontinence
   A combination of stress and urge incontinence.
4. Overflow Incontinence
   Frequent or constant dribbling of urine due to incomplete bladder emptying.

Urinary incontinence can occur due to:

• Weak pelvic floor muscles

• Menopause
  
• Enlarged prostate in men
